T3-Fertiliation and The First Two Weeks Flashcards
Phase 1 of fertilization
Penetration of Corona Radiata
In Phase 1 of fertilization, the movement of sperm tail allows what (2 things)
Sperm to pass freely through the Corona Radiata and for penetration of the follicular cells
Phase 2 of fertilization
Penetration of Zona Pellucida
Receptors on Zona Pellucida
ZP3 sperm receptors
Acrosome reaction
Triggered when ZP3 binding molecule on acrosomal membrane (sperm) binds with ZP3 on zona pellucida (egg)
Phase 3 of fertilization
Fusion of the sperm and oocyte cell membrane
IZUMO
egg binding protiens on inner acrosomal membrane of sperm cells
JUNO receptors
receptors on oocyte cell membranes
Sperm oocyte contact triggers what
cortical granules to release lysosomal enzymes aka the cortical reaction
The cortical reaction triggers
the zona reaction and shedding of JUNO receptors
Results of fertilization
Formation of female and male pronucleus
Formation of female pronuclus
secondary oocyte completes MD-II and the nucleus of the mature oocyte transforms into female pronucleus
Formation of male pronucleus
nucleus of sperm cell enlarges
Ootid
about 12hrs old and contains two pronuclei
When the chromosomes from the sperm and egg join the ootid is now called a what
zygote
Cleavage age
1 day old
Morula features
3 days old; 12-32 blastomeres
Mitotic divisions of the zygote produces this
blastomeres
Totipotent blastomere definition
has the ability to develop into both intra-embryonic and extra embryonic structures
When does compaction begin?
after the 8 cell stage between 3rd and 4th cleavage
What two structures does compaction result in?
Trophoblast (outer cell mass) and embryoblast (inner cell mass)
Features of Trophoblast (2)
Will contribute to extra-embryonic tissues such as the placenta but no contribution to the embryo
Features of embryoblast
Will form embryo proper, amniotic membrane, and the lining of the primative umbilical vessicle
Time when morula enters uterine cavitiy
about 4 days after fertilization
The blastocystic cavity forms when
fluid passes into the morula through the zona pellucida from the uterine cavity
Morula in uterine cavity is called
blastocyst
